Week 7 – another 8 lbs

Filed under: lap-band — mldollaz @ 9:29 am

So, I went for my weigh-in this morning. The long awaited weigh in. I lost another 8 lbs in 3.5 weeks, making for a total of 32 lbs in 7 weeks. I was a tad dissapointed because I thought the weight loss would be more, but then Dr. Robinson came in and said I was doing great and that he wasn’t going to give me a fill because I was loosing at a rate above the average.

Apparently, they don’t give you a fill if you are losing. I met with the nutrionist before my appt and Sari gave me a bunch of tips on how to get all the food in. Part of the problem is that I just can’t eat all the food in a given day. I forget to eat, I forget to drink and then it’s 9:30pm and I have two starches and 4 glasses of water to drink. So, I’m on a renewed path with some fresh guidance.

They were thrilled that I am getting in all my protein – so that was good. I was kind of looking forward to the fill. I had my flip all ready and everything and then he said, “see you in 4 weeks.” I was like, “wait, what about my fill??” Dr. Robinson said, “why would you need a fill – you are losing? and you aren’t eating all your food now. no fill for you!” So, it’s a good thing I guess.

I also took my measurements this morning.

Bust     40 (no change from last week – down 4 inches)

Waist   39 (down 1 inch from last week for a total of 7 inches)

Hips 46.5 (no change from last week – down6.5 inches)

Thigh 26.5 (no change from last week – down 4 inches)

Arm 13.5 (no change from last week – down 1.5 inches)

  1. Marissa!! I’m so happy for you… that’s an amazing weight loss (jealous, I am). Don’t worry so much about the numbers/logistics as celebrating a sharp and steady decline. Your inches lost are fantastic… you are going to look amazing this summer! Keep up the good work but don’t forget to pat yourself on the rapidly slimming back for sticking to the program and losing weight. So good for your heart, too. Woo hoo!
